We have many different volunteer opportunities available, so join the Walkathon fun!

Now recruiting: Executive Planning Committee:This committee handles many of the details of our event, including team recruitment, sponsorships, marketing and publicity, logistics, volunteer recruitment, food and beverage donations, and activities and entertainment. We’re forming this committee now so if you’re interested, email [email protected].
